The History Of Men's Promise Rings


A new trend now is promise rings for men - but did you know that it stems from an old and fascinating tradition? Before men wore rings to symbolize their romantic commitments, they wore them to signify their devotion to various institutions, among them professional guilds, religious organizations, and groups such as fraternities or colleges.

The leader of the Roman Catholic Church, the Pope, wears a Papal ring to symbolize his fidelity to God and the Church. According to experts, this tradition stems back thousands of years to the religious institutions of the ancient world, where male spiritual officials wore rings as signs of their faith.

During the 1500s, it was common for friends and lovers to exchange rings as symbols of affection and fidelity. These early rings came in many different styles and settings, and were worn by both men and women.

In the late 20th century, promise rings became popular for, first, women, and then, for men too. Couples have many different reasons for exchanging rings before engagement, including the desire to promise pre-marital abstinence to one another, celebrate a new co-habitation, or mark the seriousness of the relationship.

Couples who are looking for a promise ring for the male partner will find they have a lot of flexibility with style, color, and stone choices. Rings with personal messages engraved on the outside or inside of the band are popular, and the ring can be worn on either the left or right hand and on the finger of the wearer's choice.

"Anam Cara" is a saying in Gaelic, the language of Ireland, which means "soul friend". This saying has become a popular engraving on men's promise rings in the last few years, especially on rings that are inspired by the jewelry of the ancient Celts.

Matching his-and-hers promise rings is another popular trend right now. Couples who are looking to signify their connection to one another through their rings often opt for matching pieces. Frequently, the woman's ring will be of lighter weight and more delicate design than the man's, but a similar stone, engraved saying, or colour will link the two rings in look and feel.
